Hi,

  I am wondering if anyone has tried Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, or 386BSD on
the DECpc XL series. It's a Pentium with PCI/EISA, on board fast SCSI. I am
not sure what the on board graphic controller is, but it seems to be
either Diamon Viper (not supported by XFree) or S3 928. I am thinking
about getting it as the replacement of my NeXT cube. I'd like to
try the above OS's.

Thanks in advance.
